STABILIZE
Diagnose – Hear, see, feel
• You should feel vibrations and see erratic engine indications as well as bang noises
• There won’t necessarily be an EICAS
• Start a timer
Objective / Generate – Memory items
• AT arm switch effected side OFF
• Thrust lever effected side retard until indications are within limits or at idle
• Monitor and stabilize the flight path
• Monitor and stabilize the engines
Anticipate – Effects of time
• Are we stable or do we require to drift down
• What are the engine indications doing?
• Are we getting additional EICAS messages or indications?
• Is the situation stabilizing?
• Brief initial actions of secondary failures
Manage – Actions
• Follow the checklist to establish if the engine is stable and in normal range
• Contact IOC on SATCOM and seek assistance
• If not or if directed, secure the engine and plan diversion
• Execute EO drift down
• Do a PAN call
• Monitor terrain
• Advise ATC
• Get regional QNH
• Wake up the captain
• IOC alert
Asses – Is the flight path and aircraft doing what you are wanting?
Am I suspecting secondary failures or indications?
Will I increase speed and what effect will this have?
ACTION ITEMS COMPLETE
• Switch on seatbelt signs
• Pan call and advise ATC
• Monitor for traffic and weather
• Alert call on cabin mic, ’ISM to the flight deck’

NITS briefing
Nature – We have abnormal engine indications
Intention – Diverting/ continue depending on situation
Time – Will advise, 30 mins to an hour situation dependent
Special instruction
• Please stop the service and get the cabin ready
• Wake up the captain
• Please report back on cabin status and passengers
• We will update you.
SOLVE
CSDNWTF – Critical, situation, diversion, notams, weather, terrain, fuel
Critical
• Are we time critical?
Situation
• What happened?
• What’s the aircrafts status? Bring up the status page
What’s the cabin situation? Do we have any injuries?
Diversion
• Will we divert or will we continue?
Notams
• Are we able to use the airport?
• Is the airport open? FORCE them to open it and give ETA.
• Does the airport have a gate or stairs available?
Weather
• Is the airport weather suitable?
Terrain
• Where is terrain significant and where is terrain relative to our position?
• Are we at a lower safe altitude or 10000ft and how will that affect oxygen?
• Do we require further descend?
• What is the diversion airports MSA and where is terrain significant?
Fuel
• Do we have enough fuel to continue to destination or for diversion?
Do we require any fuel jettison for an overweight landing?
DECION MADE – SAFE? LEGAL? EFFIECIENT?

SUBJECT TO STATUS AND OUTCOME
EXECUTE
ATC
• Advise ATC of intentions and plan
• Request vectors to the nominated airport that supports the plan
• Request emergency services and ambulances on arrival
• Advise ATC of where you plan to stop, 2/3 down the runway
Setup
• Start the execution and routing to the airport in basic modes
• Monitor track miles and profile, can we make it?
• Are we time critical?
• Setup the FMC
• Start running through the audio panel, review each channel carefully
Other actions
• Are there any abnormal checklists that need completion or effect performance?
• Do the commanded PA’s
Review
• Check airport facilities
• What facilities does the airport have to support the disembarkation?
• What sort of landing will this be and how will we disembark?
• Check in with ISM
Approach planning
• Run an OPT
• Set minima’s
• Are we overweight?
• Do a brief
• Will we do a brace or crew at stations call?
• ATTENTION CREW AT STATIONS ATTENTION CRE AT STATIONS 2500ft
• ATTENTION BRACE BRACE at 500ft
Mental model
• Brief what will happen if we are not stable?
